Re: United Rugby Championship
Anybody in the know when we can expect Uk TV deal announcement as need to get in early to stop premier sports renewing my subscription?
Re: United Rugby Championship
Very soon hopefully, Premier may still be involved with a greater mix of free to air channels (BBC, S4C). Quote from the URC Boss Man this week - "We’ll have pay-TV but also a pretty substantial free-to-air option across the UK and Ireland, which is great. We keep our core pay partner there, which is important when you’ve got 151 games a season. No free-to-air broadcaster is going to have the capacity to show all the games and we want fans to see every game they want to watch."

Re: United Rugby Championship
Either way dont let them auto renew. If you cancel they'll offer you a deal or code to come back / sign up.

Re: United Rugby Championship
Sounds like the only way to watch all of ulster's games will be via Premier sports. Some home games will be on bbc, but not all and certainly not the away games.

Re: United Rugby Championship
Wonder if there’ll be another Ulster promotion code for a discount on the subscription like last year.
Re: United Rugby Championship
Would expect all 9 home games to be on BBC NI. BBC Wales are showing 15 games next season for context.UlsterNo9 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 12:57 pmYep and any REAL, ULTRA, True supporters will be at all of the home games....jean valjean wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 12:54 pm Sounds like the only way to watch all of ulster's games will be via Premier sports.

Re: United Rugby Championship
Not sure if it will be pie in the sky, but talk of a salary cap. Would be a challenge to implement I would guess, but would put more pressure on teams to develop players through the academy.
